"Summer" Maprun street-o in Coleford, with snow on the ground, on another very cold, wet and windy evening.
Initially didn't see a good route to do the lot without a lot of duplication at the start or end before settling on a spiral, and skipping out the middle part if short on time.
S-29-2-15-1-21-3-27-16-8-20-19-24-13-28-18-30-23-4-26-11-22-5-12-F. Score 490/600.
Not really going fast, and for the first half the running didn't feel good. Not helped by wearing windproof top (which I took off in Broadwell, and things felt better after that).
Glad to hear a beep at 29 as not totally clear where I should be going. Path after 2 by Lucozade wasn't nice to run as lots of stooping down under trees. Was a bit concerned about falling off the path at the golf course but from this direction was ok. Did go wrong at the far end though and too far N for 27.19/24 awkward to fit in but got them at a reasonable point - went down an unmapped dead end path on way to 19 though and need to update map.
Skipped out 9 as seemed a choice of that (10 pts) or 13 (20 pts), although 13 wasn't interesting and made 28 a dogleg. Path out of 18 harder to follow on ground than map as exit was through a farmyard and behind a big tree.
Time looking a bit tight after 30 and there was more climb than I expected to 23 up a wet path. Decision point came at 4 (1k straight line from finish) and thought 10 mins would be enough to get the far loop rather than cut straight back if straightforward. Some concern after 26 as path badly marked, muddy field and big pile of manure in the way. Somewhat lucky I know the field beyond for getting 11 as could have easily overshot otherwise.
Did the extra bit for 22 (30 points) but by now was expecting to be around a minute late - back with 25s to spare only thanks to the path down to 12 being so nice (if dark) and smooth.
Really enjoyed this - shows that mix urban/rural street-o can work well. Still got bits of the town left to explore so may go and try it again another day.
